Without a rifled barrel I would us an Improved cylinder with rifled slugs. I think a modified choke will work, but an improved is what most manufacturers recommend for slugs.

You might want to get a low-power scope too. Typically a shot gun does not offer much of an open site. Cabelas has one for about $50 especially for shotgun slug hunting.

You should be fine with that. Good luck and get something!

A rifled choke tube worked great in my 870!

If you plan to continue shotgun hunting in the future I would save for the rifled barrel and sabot slugs. It will reall improve your groups at longer ranges. I use a rem 20ga with rifled barrel and took a beautiful 10pt main frame at 165 yards with it.
